Sorry if I missed this in all the posts here, but I wonder if people realize how many children who are molested and/or killed were not dressed or acting in anything but age-appropriate ways.
From what I've read of true pedophiles, part of what turns them on is likely to be the look of a pure, innocent prepubescent child.   Some even molest toddlers and infants.
And the "doing-it-to-a-schoolgirl" fantasy seems more tied to the starched white long-sleeved, high-necked blouse and modest pleated skirt of a school uniform than to anything resembling a street hooker or pageant princess evening gown.

IF this creep Farr is JonBenet's killer, who's to say he wouldn't have lusted after her and molested her even if she had never been in pageants?   Polly Klaas and Lee Isley (a 4-year-old in my neighborhood who was kidnapped, tortured, molested, and murdered by Westley Allen Dodd) weren't in pageants and didn't have parents exploiting their looks or sexuality.

There are plenty of reasons to disdain child beauty pageants, but I'm not at all convinced involvement in them makes a child more of a target for predatory pedophiles.   And I'm not convinced that JonBenet's murder was connected to her pageant involvement.
